Peachicks of 2021

Here is a thread for us to share pictures and stories of our 2021 peachicks.

Got a late start this year. First for us this year is this India Blue chick that I suspect is male.

We are not hatching out very many this year, maybe up to a couple of hundred so far, and not one India Blue in the bunch.

My first 6 to hatch this year: 2 Whites and 4 India Blue (possibly pied, split white, or dark).

Let me rephrase, WE is a pattern, not a color. You and I know this but some folks could be confused.

For everyone reading this thread, all chicks with "WE" on their paper came from the pen where my India Blue WE lives.

All chicks with BS came from the pen where my India Blue BS lives.

@BirdsBeesTrees, they are adorable!

I wonder if this one is female?

Are you not hatching India Blues on purpose? Just wondering.

Correct, we hatch a few IB splits but in general, we concentrate on colors and patterns as well as high Spauldings in White, Pied, and Silver Pied. We do a lot of Peach, Violet, Purple BS, Cameo, Opal, Taupe, Bronze and Montana.

What does the WE stand for (in the one with a green tie)? Does it stand for White Eyed and, if so, how can you tell?

Yes, WE is white eyed, and it indicates what color the sire is, not the color of the chick.
